A Bracket is a block of players whose scores are competing against each other in a PvP event.

You are entered into a bracket when you tap/click the "Join Event" button on the Activity Hub or Event Page.

Event Brackets usually have 3000 players in them.

Your Individual Ranking is determined by how your score compares to the scores of others in your Bracket. You may have battles against players in other Brackets, but their Individual Score will not affect your ranking.

When the 3001st player joins , a new Bracket is formed with that player in it. Any player that joins the event after that is placed into the new Bracket.

Sometimes a new Bracket is formed very close to the end of an event. In this case it is possible to get high Ranking Rewards without playing the entire event, sometimes without even playing a single fight in the event. This is usually referred to as "Bracket Sniping" and carries significant risk, as it is extremely difficult to meet Progression Rewards and it is very luck based if you get into the top of a new Bracket or the bottom of an old Bracket.

+A '''Bracket''' is a block of players whose scores are competing against each other in a [[PvP]] event. It divides players into, effectively, separate [[events]], each with their own [[Rewards]] tiers. The player blocks are of a size that matches the Rewards structure, and Rewards are the main reason it is necessary.
